4 wheels, 3 tires - now what?

Hey there, looking for some advice and opinions.

I tore up one of my OEM Pirelli tires yesterday (split the sidewall) so I now have 4 S-Lite wheels and 3 remaining run-flat tires.

I've already ordered new, lighter wheels/non-run-flat tires from Edge Racing which should be here Wed/Thu.

So, what would you recommend I do with the other ones? I don't live in an area where I need a set of winter tires. If it ever snows or gets to be a winter mess, I just drive my SUV (which I rarely drive anymore).

The S-Lites have a decent amount of curb rash and the tires have 17k on them. Some good tread left, but nothing anyone would drool over.

Any thoughts? Is there a market for obviously used and unevenly matched wheels & tires?

Thanks for your help!
